Hello Danny, I don't think I ever got an answer to my original mail or to the mail below (which you can find in full at http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/hal/2009-August/013560.html ). Can we go ahead with reflattening this file ? This would let us go forward with media-player-info while keeping hal-info in sync.
